Traveler, I am so sorry for your experience. That sounds brutal and arduous and long. Ugh....
Hi guys! Thanks so much for your support. I managed to cut the capsule in half and took half a dose (or so it seemed anyways). Was a very rough night, but surprisingly not too bad. I think maybe...
No mine is capsule :(. Hard to taper off that, hard to cut it at all....
Thanks so much LG!...
Oh yes, it is a benzo too. Is yours a tablet? I am sorry you have a similar ordeal. I hope you get off it soon....
Hi guys, I only take one prescription drug since last March, which is Temazepam 15 mg for sleep. I wish I never got on it in the first place, but I stopped sleeping and my LLMD was the only one who...
Haha, hi neighbor!...
Unfortunately (or fortunately for me), my parents live in Canada. I am in the states with my husband. It would have been much harder to treat Lyme there and to have anyone believe me. I will ask my...
My mom brought up the book again today. And she kept repeating I would benefit from it because it's our minds that control our symptoms and create psychosomatic disorders. I kept explaining to her...
I know what you mean. Do you steam any of your vegetables? Or sautee them? It helps to break them down a little easier this way. And of course chew thoroughly! lol...
Exactly Krimpet. It's redundant for people to keep saying just think positively because of mind over matter. Oftentimes those are the people who are in good health and have no significant issues in...
Have you ever tried quinoa? It is high in proteins, has all the essential amino acids you need....
You can eat butter =D....
Thanks guys for your support. I told my mom I won't be reading the book. She was surprisingly ok with it. I couldn't sleep too well last night because a part of me wanted to be open-minded, but...
Psilociraptor, I wholeheartedly agree with you. Healing must be done on all levels. And I believe I am making a lot of progress by reducing surrounding stress, by thinking positively about my healing...
Thank you guys for your support. That is what I told my mom, about the herxes. She's still denying it. Just like she's truly denying the basis of her own illness. I am sure she has Candida herself,...
Heya guys, Gotta rant a little bit. Only you guys can ever understand this! My parents are well-meaning (and also sick, I am sure of it, but they don't want to make the proper changes to seek real...
Huddie! Yeah AAT seems to be the best program from what I keep hearing myself. Best of luck to you. Hope it goes well. I think it will with a great practitioner!...
Huddle, check this site out: http://www.allergytx.com/. Maybe there's a place that deals with that in your vicinity....
I also tried herbs and many of then can be harsh and toxic. I felt so terrible. I would try gentle homeopathy instead. And keep at your diet, you are doing wonderfully! Changes don't happen right...
Katie95, You did such huge changes to your lifestyle, I applaud you! It isn't easy to quit smoking (Candida makes us sensitive to tobacco smoke) and change your diet and give up fruits. Probably your...
I thought this was very insightful, especially the symptom list at the end: http://www.allergymo.com/topics.html. The spit test was fun to do! (And boy, do I have candida!) This too has been...
Katie95, I also don't feel that Lyme affects me as much. Before treating Lyme with antibiotics for 6 months, it was never this bad until after the treatment. My poor gut was overburdened from that...
I just recently found out that I have Candida and I mistook it for Lyme for the longest time (they symptoms can seriously overlap). How I figured it out is that the Lyme diet is a no-no when you have...
julymorning hahaha, right?! fortunately, i already follow a pretty rigid diet and am ok with it. however, i was eating berries (which i reacted to) not too long ago because they're with lyme and was...
I am gonna do the spit test myself tomorrow :D. Ugh yeah the pork causes me abdominal issues, while the seeds cause me really bad skin burning sensations. Either feels like a flare up or a herx. Do...
Hey guys! I've been monitoring what I eat in my diary on a daily basis for almost a week per my new naturopath's request. We are doing Advanced Allergy Therapeutics because I am reactive to food that...
Ack, I don't even know what's in my water. I live in a house that isn't my own, we just rent there, so we can't really put in filtration systems all around. However, I have an idea. I have a...
Hi guys! Just want to ask what kind of water do you drink. I have a good filter at home, but the taste of water is slightly off (no one else notices in the household, so it could be my sense of...
Cool, guys, thank you! Does the water have to be filtered? I don't have a filter in the bathroom. Would that make a huge difference?...
Merry Christmas to y'all! My blessings to you. Wish y'all much health and strength! I have a question about foot baths. I am very challenged at detoxing, but I am thinking of buying a foot bath to...
Could be that the bacteria changed forms and has adapted to the antibiotics. Could be that the antibiotics aren't targeting the right bacteria. Could be candida. Could be you aren't detoxing (look...
Could be that your symptoms get worse at that time. Usually, I feel the most sensitive when I wake up and then in the evening. Then it keeps changing. Not necessarily a herx, but could be....
That's creative! Thanks....
I am not even sure how you can get off temazepam when it's in capsule form....
Oh gosh, I am so scared to get off them! :O But I think once I feel a bit better, it's on my to do list. I am already free of all other prescription drugs (I was on 3 awful ones, but fortunately only...
Thank you so much for your insight! I hope you keep getting better and better. Were you taking Quercetin by itself? It is hard to absorb by itself, but Quercetin with Bromelain gets into your system...
Thank you so much. I don't seem to have candida. Tested for it recently. But my gut has been damaged and the probiotics that I was prescribed were bad and didn't help one bit in my stool formation....
Goodness, I am so sorry you are suffering from all that! What kind of supplements do you take for methylation? Do you experience any worsening? I recently started a new probiotic and I am happy to...
Sometimes I wonder if Lyme is even an issue for me these days because these symptoms I experience are weird. Several months ago I started experiencing severe anxiety/panic/fight and flight mode plus...
I dry skin brush and drink a lot of water. I have the MTHFR homozygous gene mutation preventing me from detoxing properly and I can't intake any supplements due to high sensitivities. Acupuncture...
Wow thank you so much for your insight and I am so sorry you have to go through that too. I think I have the mast cell issue myself, which I will be checking for on Tuesday. I can hardly wait! Maybe...
So I've been on Temazepam (Restoril) 15 mg since last March. My LLMD prescribed it to me for sleep because I couldn't sleep anymore AT ALL. I wish I knew at the time about the habit formation and...
I was taking several different ones. The regular one. Then a B-Complex. I am afraid of taking methyl due to die offs that may occur and I am so sensitive to everything at this point....
Can't tolerate anything :(. And B12 doesn't seem to get into me on a cellular level. So I am trying to eat as much B-complex foods....
If you have homozygous MTHFR C677T and other gene mutations, can you still get better with Lyme treatment provided that you eat well and do gentle detoxing (like dry skin brushing, drinking water,...
Oh dear, what kind of die offs did you experience? I should introduce this to my diet!...
Haha well said! I also think I may have leaky gut. I am gonna try that out. I love coconut oil and butter. Unfortunately can't eat any type of bread, but maybe I can find some kind of saltine...
Aww, I got to try Scrubs and Girls!...
Thank you so much! I'll be consulting with doctors this Tuesday and see what I can take to remedy that....
